Political Updates and Legislative Actions 0:06 Good afternoon. I'm Victoria Marshall, and welcome to the Washington Watch news desk. President Donald Trump is threatening to levy tougher economic sanctions and tariffs against Russia0:18 if Vladimir Putin fails to end the war against Ukraine. In a post on Truth Social yesterday, President Trump wrote, settle now and stop this ridiculous war. It's only going to0:30 get worse. We don't make a deal and soon I have no other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to United States and0:41 various other participating countries. Trump has also told reporters he would be sanctioning Russia at a press conference, the White House on Tuesday.0:50 You called for a ceasefire in Ukraine. If Vladimir Putin doesn't come to the table to negotiate with you, will you put additional sanctions on Russia?0:59 Sounds likely.1:00 And do you think that the war should be frozen currently along the way?1:04 Never started. If you had a competent president, which you didn't, the war wouldn't have happened. The war in Ukraine would have never happened if I were president.1:12 Russia also faces crushing US sanctions over the war since invading Ukraine in 20 22, and trade has slowed to a trickle. Earlier this month, the Biden administration imposed sweeping
1:24 sanctions against Moscow's energy sector. And in other Capitol Hill news, yesterday, the house passed the Lake and Riley Act. The bill named for a 22 year old nursing student who was
1:35 killed by an illegal immigrant requires the detention of aliens arrested for crimes like theft. The bill passed the house 2 63 to a hundred 56 with 46 Democrats voting
1:47 for it. Earlier this week, it also passed the Senate with 12 Democrats voting for it. The bill now goes to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. It will be the first piece of legislation Trump will sign during
1:59 his second term. Here's what house majority leader Steve Scalise had to say about it during a press conference yesterday.
2:07 Today we're gonna send to president Trump's desk his very first bill to sign in law, the Lake and Riley Act. And I think it's significant, that you look at the contrast between last congress where we passed the same
2:19 bill, and Chuck Schumer made it clear that in a democrat senate, they had no desire to stand up for women who were assaulted by people here illegally. Joe Biden would not have
2:31 signed that bill. But now with John Thune, you have the same house majority, but you now have a willing partner in the senate that actually wants to confront real problems
2:43 facing families so that you don't have more Lake and Riley's. You don't have more murders of innocent people because of an open border.
2:52 Schooley's also said that house Republicans are working on taking more actions actions to secure the border through the budget reconciliation process. In addition, the Pentagon announced yesterday it would be sending
3:03 1500 active duty military troops to the southern border in response to 1 of Trump's executive orders. And in other domestic news, President Trump is planning on pardoning pro
3:15 life activists imprisoned by the Biden Department of Justice. According to an exclusive report by the Daily Wire, the Trump administration is planning on pardoning imprisoned pro life within days.
3:27 There are several pro life activists who are currently imprisoned from peacefully protesting against abortion clinics. They were targeted by the Biden Department of Justice under the Freedom Access to Clinic Entrances
3:39 Act or the Face Act. They face years in prison for their actions. And earlier today, Missouri senator Josh Hawley urged president Trump to pardon the pro lifers in a speech on the senate
3:51 floor.
3:52 This is a grotesque assault on the principles of this country. And that is why, mister president, I have urged president Donald Trump to pardon
4:04 all of these pro life prisoners, unjustly persecuted, unjustly targeted, unjustly imprisoned by the corrupt Biden administration. And I do mean corrupt.
4:16 Trump has repeatedly criticized the Biden DOJ for targeting pro lifers on outrageous charges promising on the campaign trail to rapidly review their cases. Now this story comes after Trump issued an
4:27 executive order on Monday that granted full pardons to 1500 January 6 defendants. And those are today's headlines. I'm Victoria Marshall. Up next is
4:39 Washington Watch with Tony Perkins. We'll see you tomorrow with more news.
Budget Reconciliation and Government Spending
4:52 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and
5:03 newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Washington Watch with Tony Perkins starts now.
5:11 This bill just asked the simple question, if an abortion is botched and the child is delivered instead of destroyed in the womb and the child is
5:23 alive and viable on the table, what happens next? Current medical practice is everyone in the room just backs away and you allow the child to
5:34 die on the table. I don't think that's what most Americans would want.
5:41 That was Oklahoma senator James Langford on the senate floor yesterday debating the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Welcome to Washington Watch. Thanks for tuning in and making us part of
5:52 your day. Well, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act failed to advance in the senate yesterday when every Democrat senator voted against it. 1 of the most common arguments that, was given was that it doesn't
6:04 happen, so it's not necessary. Later in the program, senator Langford himself will join us along with Josiah Presley, an abortion survivor. Meanwhile, the big question on Capitol Hill is
6:16 will there be 1 bill or 2?
6:19 I like the concept of the 1 bill. I guess I said 1 big beautiful, and that's what everyone faced. Actually, it's sort of a nice sound to it, but I do like that concept. It could be something else. It could be
6:31 a a smaller bill than a a big bill.
6:34 Right.
6:34 But as long as we get to the right answer now
6:37 That was president Trump, an interview with Sean Hannity discussing possible paths forward on a reconciliation bill, which is a budgetary means to circumvent the 60 vote threshold required
6:49 in the senate. Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson will join us with the latest on this debate, and, actually, he's leaning toward 3 bills. We're gonna talk about that. Also, president Trump signed an executive order
7:01 once again designating Yemen's Iran backed Houthi rebels as a foreign terrorist organization. Former president Biden had previously removed that designation. Montana senator Steve
7:13 Daines, who sits on the senate foreign relations committee, will give us his perspective and the latest on this. Finally, in evidence that it's not business as usual in DC, the commandant of the coast guard, admiral
7:24 Linda Fagan, was ousted Monday night. 1 reason cited, an excessive focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, which diverted resources from operational priorities. That, of course, is a
7:36 hallmark of much of the federal government under the Biden administration. Retired coast guard vice admiral Dean Lee joins us to discuss what this signals ahead for our armed services.
7:47 Alright. We are in the first 100 days, and we've created a brand new resource for you. It's the first 100 days toolkit. It helps you track campaign promises as they become policy,
7:59 provides contact information so that you can take action when necessary to contact your senators and your congressman, and it includes prayer points for our government leaders and for the policies
8:11 they're considering. To find the toolkit, you can find it on the Stand Firm app, or you can text toolkit toolkit to 6 7 7 4 2, that's toolkit, to 6 7 7 4 2, and you'll
8:23 be prepared for the first 100 days. Alright. The Trump administration continues to take shape following the president's return to the Oval Office on Monday. The senate voted today to confirm John Ratcliffe as the
8:35 next CIA director, making him the second highest level appointment for the new administration to be confirmed. And senate leaders are pushing ahead with a series of votes on president Trump's other cabinet picks.
8:46 Meanwhile, Republicans are still working to reach consensus on budget reconciliation with more members of congress and even the president saying it's the results that matter, not whether it's 1 or 2
8:58 bills. Well, joining us now is senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin who serves on 4 senate committees, including the budget committee and the finance committee. Senator Johnson, welcome back to Washington Watch. Great to see
9:10 you.
9:11 Well, Tony, thanks for having me on.
9:13 Alright. What are where are we on this reconciliation? We've got 1 bill, 2 bill, and now you you say maybe 3 is the best way forward.
9:21 Well, you know, Tony, I come from the private sector, and I'm a firm believer in the KISS principle. Keep it simple. I'm well aware of the grotesque dysfunction here in Washington DC. Also, very well aware of the slim
9:33 margin in the house. We have a little bit more leeway in the senate, but, again, that that doesn't necessarily guarantee success. So when when you talk about 1 big beautiful bill, I I recognize that 1 big bill beautiful
9:44 bill is really complex. And what I think, we we need to really lay out the goals. And, you know, the the first goal is what president Trump ran on his his 20 16 election and 20 24 because Biden opened up
9:56 the borders, we have to secure that border. We we need to make sure this administration has the resources and funding for the full 4 years. That's something we all agree on. So get that 1 done off the table. Then, you
10:08 know, we have this massive automatic tax increase, you know, barreling toward us. Got by the way, we did that because we couldn't have the the pay for us to make it permanent, but we have this massive automatic tax
10:19 increase. Let's take that off the table. I understand that the whole discussion around, you know, president Trump's tax proposals, the SALT deduction. You know, I wanna take the time to simplify and rationalize our
10:31 tax code. So what we can do is we can just extend current policy, get that off the table, assure the American public there's not gonna be a tax increase. I think that would be very good for our economy. Private
10:43 sector wants stability. They want certainty. And then let's take our time to simplify, rationalize our tax code, and make sure that whatever we do is permanent so we're not facing
10:55 this next fiscal you know, another fiscal cliff like this. So, again, I think 3, makes sense because I think we can knock the 2 out pretty fast and then take our time because we'll have the time, to to get
11:06 tax, you know, tax certification right.
11:09 Yeah. Does the reconciliation process allow for 3 bills?
11:14 Absolutely. You know, so what we're gonna first be doing is we're gonna be passing a fiscal 20 25 budget. You know, we're we're, you know, we're we're 4 months into, the that fiscal year already. By the way, I
11:26 didn't even mention the complications of increasing the debt ceiling, funding 20 25 before we turn our attention. So, yeah, we we would pass a 20 25 budget as as bizarre as that sounds, use
11:38 that for the first 2 reconciliation packages, and then turn our attention to a fiscal 20 26 budget. And then that we we would use that for, you know, reducing the size of government. You know, I have
11:50 proposals on that as well. We we've we've not returned to pre pandemic levels. 2019, we spent 4400000000000.0 dollars. Pandemic spending spree 6600000000000.0, but we haven't reduced that. You know, a family, if
12:02 you have a major medical issue, maybe they have to borrow 50000 dollars to pay for bills. They're not gonna keep borrowing and spending that level if they get well. They're gonna return to their, you know, reasonable
12:11 baseline of spending. We didn't do that. For the last 5 years, we spent 6500000000000.0 dollars, so we need to work hard to reduce the level of spending. I thought it was interesting in president, Trump's dabbles speech.
12:23 He mentioned the fact that because of this gross mismanagement on part of Biden, we're spending 1500000000000.0 dollars more than we would have under his projection. So I've actually been talking about the
12:34 budget he proposed was about 5500000000000.0 versus the 7000000000000 dollars. So we need to, in some way, shape, or form, return to that pre pre pandemic baseline. And and, again, that's gonna be complex to
12:46 do.
12:47 Yeah. 1 once government gets kind of attached to that funding stream, inflated funding stream, dialing it back is is a challenge, but needed. Absolutely needed. When you look at the
12:58 fact that our interest on our debt is more than what we're paying for national defense, there's something seriously wrong there. Is it a foregone conclusion that
13:10 Democrat members of the senate will not vote, for the extension or the making permanent the tax cuts? They wanna vote a tax cut upon the American people?
13:22 Well, they wanna vote a tax increase on some of the American people. I think, a good chunk of that, the the the middle income tax cuts, they'd wanna extend as well. But, you know, to get back to spending, what what I
13:33 proposed is, you know, rather than talk about cuts, why don't we go back to other baselines? You know, president Trump's budget would be 1. That's 5500000000000.0. If you'd use president Clinton's back in 19 98, the last
13:44 time we had a the first time we had a surplus since 19 69, and if you increase that budget, it was 1.7 back then, by population growth and inflation and you use this year's Social
13:56 Security, Medicare, and interest, you know, at current levels. So you basically exempt Social Security and Medicare. You spend what you need to spend. That also would be 5500000000000.0 dollars, and president Biden
14:08 is projecting 5500000000000.0 dollars worth of revenue. Tony, we'd have a balanced budget. Now I don't think Bill Clinton spent too little back then. So, again, you're basically using his spending levels just to inflate
14:19 them. We'd have a balanced budget. And, by the way, if that's too reasonable, use president Obama's 2014 spending levels, do the same thing, it'd be 6.22. So there there you've got your range, somewhere between 5.5 and
14:31 6200000000000.0 dollars versus the 7000000000000 dollars we're spending basically this year.
14:36 So let's talk about the obstacles to get there. What stands in the way?
14:41 Republican votes probably. Yeah. We can do this through reconciliation. So we we really need presidential leadership, which is why I was really glad to hear president Trump talking about his projection for 20 25 at that
14:53 5.5 level that I've been proposing using Bill Clinton's baseline as well. So, again, there's kind of a confluence of rationales for returning to about a 5.5 to 6000000000000 dollar baseline of spending. To me, that's
15:04 really good news because if we have presidential leadership, I think the house members, I think senators who get behind this concept. Again, we can do this quick. I I actually printed out that budget. It's it's about
15:15 that thick, over 6000 line items, couple hundred pages worth. I can drop that today. I'd vote for it. All Republicans should should vote for that.
15:25 If I recall correctly, senator Johnson, before the pandemic, in the last budget, I think the president, president, Trump proposed, it was actually lower
15:37 and congress beefed it up. He actually had a very reinfected I think if I'm not mistaken, it took out, funding for National Public Broadcasting and some of the other, leftist
15:48 agencies, but the, the congress put it back in.
15:53 Well, we have big spenders in our Republican Party here in congress too. So that's why we need presidential leadership. You know, obviously, he ran on reducing the size, scope, and cost of government, its its influence
16:04 over our lives. If you wanna do that, don't fund it. Again, we'd still be spending somewhere around 6000000000000 dollars, which is still trillions of dollars too much, but, that would be a reasonable level to return
16:15 to. Hopefully, it's not gonna be much of a fight. Hopefully, again, president Trump will will, lead us in this effort, and then kind of embrace this concept that I've laid out there in the Wall Street Journal column, on
16:26 January second.
16:27 That would be absolutely amazing if we could balance our budget. I mean, it can be done, but if we had the internal if we had the intestinal fortitude to actually accomplish it, that could be quite I mean, I the
16:39 impact that that would have on our economy. I mean, that would that would fuel economic growth, would it not?
16:45 Absolutely. And, again, I'm using a rationale. Go back to Bill Clinton's budget, grow it by inflation population. We we use his spending priorities. We'd be at 5500000000000.0. Or, again, use president Trump's
16:57 projected budget. I don't care which 1 we use. We can mix and match. Some things we can increase. Some things we can decrease. We can get into greater detail, but that's the general framework. That's how we control
17:08 government spending.
17:11 Here's a challenge. The clock is ticking, and we're having this, this debate's been going on now for a few weeks about 1 bill, 2 bill, 1 bill, 2 bill. If we don't do something,
17:23 we're gonna miss the opportunity.
17:25 Well, I think, chairman Graham, chairman of our budget committee, I I serve in that committee with him. We're we're in talks. We're meeting with House Freedom Caucus, individuals who are being more than reasonable as I
17:36 think we are being more than reasonable. I think Lindsey wants to plow forward. So if if president Trump gets behind this effort, we'll plow ahead. We can get this done literally in in weeks.
17:46 Now the the reconciliation process, does that have to originate in the house?
17:52 I think we can pass our, our budget here and marry it with a house product. It's it's not the same thing as, like, a tax bill or something. So, I I think we can, you know, lead this effort if if the house is having
18:03 trouble kinda gaining consensus. Again, keep it simple. Let's break this up into pieces. I think it's eminently doable then.
18:11 Senator, I have to say it makes a lot of sense, especially if it can get us back to that place of having a balanced budget. That could be huge for our country. Senator Johnson, thanks so much for, joining us. Always
18:21 great to see you. Have a great night. Alright. And, of course, we're gonna check back with him and see, if he's making progress on that. It it really is. I'm getting a little concerned because it's more about a debate
18:33 just back and forth, 1 bill, 2 bill. Let's just move. We gotta get something done. Alright. Coming up next, could there be a change ahead on our nation's military as we see the, the president relieving the head of the
18:45 coast guard for being too DEI focused? That's next with Kuwait.

20:27 In May, FRC called upon believers to pray for and stand with Israel by dedicating a portion of their worship services to pray for Israel's peace, prosperity, and protection.
20:39 With pray vote stand decision 20 24, FRC and Real Life Network led a powerful evening of election night coverage to analyze the election results and pray that our nation would turn back to God.

22:18 spectators. It's for participants, so be involved. Alright. In rolling back Biden era attempts to let DEI drive hiring and federal government, president Trump made clear that he wants to see hiring based
22:29 upon merit. His administration working quickly to do just that and move away, all remnants of DEI. On Monday, the new acting head of the Department of Homeland Security fired the coast guard
22:41 commandant, Admiral Linda Fagan, reportedly due to her excessive focus on DEI initiatives, in, which hindered the actual mission of the coast guard. Will we
22:53 soon see a turnaround in our military as the Trump administration continues to shake things up? Joining me now to discuss this and more is vice admiral William Dean Lee, who retired from service in the coast guard
23:05 in 20 16 after 35 years of distinguished service. Admiral Lee, welcome back to Washington Watch. Good to see you.
23:15 Oh, it's good to see you again, Tony.
23:17 Let me ask you a question. Were you concerned about the, kind of the DEI policies that were moving into the coast guard and affecting, the agency's
23:29 focus on its mission?
23:32 Well, the short answer is yes. Yes. I was. But, I belong to a, an organization of, like minded generals, admirals, retired JAG officers, and colonels that, called Stars
23:44 dot US who has been, trying to get attention placed on that issue for the last, 2 or 3 years. I mean, it's not just the US Coast Guard.
23:56 It's it's, it's rampant and deeply embedded in all of the military services, And it was our concerted opinion that it was divisive in nature. On the surface, it sounds good,
24:08 but underneath, it's got its roots in Marxist ideology, which pitch 1 group against another, 1 gender against another. And we do not think,
24:20 based on our decades of service, that that's how you build a team. And so I'm glad to see that it's being, it's being rooted out, of our services over.
24:31 Now the coast guard is different than the other branches of the service. It comes under the Department of Homeland Security. Does that did that enable the president to take more directive action immediately?
24:44 I can't speak to that, Tony. I mean, obviously, the coast guard is under the Department of Homeland Security. It's because we have a law enforcement mission that requires that. I was as shocked
24:56 as anybody on Tuesday morning when I awoke and and my phone had exploded with people sending me, the message that, my former friend and colleague, admiral Fagan had
25:08 been relieved. I did not see that coming. I'm not surprised that they're going to let loose some generals and admirals, but I was a little bit surprised to see that
25:20 she was the first. And I feel I do.
25:24 Let's let's talk about something that you and I discussed, sometime back, on this program back during the COVID pandemic. We saw many service members pushed out because they refused to
25:36 get the the jab, and that included the coast guard. And and you were on we were discussing that. You had real concerns about that. President Trump is looking to reinstate those who were expelled. I'm sure
25:48 you're relieved to hear that, but how's that work? How is that going to work with these individuals who whose reputations, their careers in many ways were tarnished, some ruined? How's that restored?
26:01 Well, that's a good question, sir. We've been talking about that a lot. The first thing you do is you, you acknowledge that, that
26:14 we, the government, were wrong enforcing that mandate down upon them based on what we know now. And then you, and you actually you just apologize, and then you make a make it
26:25 right to the best of your ability. For those who got dismissed, with, 7 16, 17 18, sometimes 19 years of service, they need to be allowed to come back
26:37 on our active duty and, and to and to get the benefits that they work so hard, to earn. And I hope that that that, that happens. And with that, you'll
26:49 start to build, you'll be confident, again, that the leaders, at least the new leaders, and commander in chief is is willing to take a hard look at what happened, why
27:01 it happened, and make sure that we don't make the same mistakes again.
27:05 I I think that last statement is so important that we we acknowledge what happened was wrong. But how do we put safeguards in place to ensure that it doesn't
27:17 happen again?
27:19 Well, the first thing I think we need to do is, this team I've been working with, has developed a draft executive order that we hope to get into the president's office, for
27:31 signature. We call it the Comcast. It's to come develop a create a commission to study the, the COVID and the anthrax policies, how they rolled those out,
27:43 what was done right, what was done wrong, pull it all out into the report, capture that information, and, and then codify it and make sure that we
27:55 don't do it again. And to the extent that some people may have broken the law, or breached policies, hold them accountable. Not a witch hunt, but it's just if you
28:07 wanna restore trust in in the in the military services, because this is 1 thing, 1 policy that affected all of them, you we owe it to them. We have a duty of care to do just
28:19 that. Let's analyze it, recognize what we did wrong, acknowledge it, and ask forgiveness, and move on.
28:28 Hey. I I think that is so important, and I I've had this discussion with those in the health care industry, FDA, and others where we, the policies that they push through, they now recognize
28:40 were wrong, admitted it. But unless we put new processes in place going forward, we're gonna repeat the same mistakes again. Somebody will. I mean, it won't be might might not be the same people, but there's
28:52 going to be another challenge somewhere down the road. And it's best if we have, documented and made the necessary changes to ensure that these
29:03 people that serve this country are not harmed again.
29:08 Right. Yes, sir. So to the extent that you can help us with this effort, if you just remember this word, you know, it's we got a draft executive order. It's titled ComCap. And, if you
29:19 can, talk people into at least taking that thing out and looking at it, we would be grateful, sir.
